Game time.
More self-talk: white is on defense, blue setting screens. Blue 12 set a marginal screen, watch him for next time. White 55 likes to bang in the post. Ball OOB off defense, point left. Ball off offense, point right.
The good news is you usually have a few possessions to get oriented before you have a whistle.

I *expect* there will be a play on the opening tip. I've seen (at least three times in the last year) a long tap and a potential foul at the bucket. Have to be ready.
